Mini Garlic Cheese Muffins

There is always something about the smell of fresh bread cooking in your kitchen.  I love these little garlic cheese muffins.  I call them Mini Garlic Cheese Muffins because the smaller version is great for entertaining.  Big or small, they are a great addition to your Holiday table.

The process

I start by preheating my oven to 400 F.  You can use a 12 muffin tin or a 24 mini tin.  The mini muffins are great for entertaining.  I use a brush to grease each of the muffin tins with canola oil. Today I am making the larger muffins to serve with soup and I use a parchment paper liner for easier clean-up. 

These are my favourite liners.

In a large bowl I pour in the milk, yogurt, oil and eggs.

Put the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning.  Fold until combined.  Don’t over mix. 

Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin tins. For large muffins check at 15 minutes and for mini muffins check at 12.  They should be golden and insert a tester in the centre and ensure that it comes out clean. I love peeking into the oven.  

Nice and brown on top.

Fluffy and moist inside.
